Quick Easy Mini Cheesecakes with Cherries
Rich, creamy mini cheesecakes nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust and topped with luscious, juicy cherries. These bite-sized treats are quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 packages cream cheese 8 oz each, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 cup cherry pie filling or fresh cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of muffin tin cups lined with paper liners or greased with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Then, fold in the sour cream until everything is nicely blended.
- Spoon the creamy filling onto the prepared crusts, filling each until they're about three-quarters full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the centers are set.
- Allow the mini cheesecakes to cool at room temperature before refrigerating them for about 2 hours.
- Before serving, spoon cherry pie filling or fresh cherries onto each mini cheesecake.
